“We are pleased with the trajectory of our plant-based business. While still in their early days, unMEAT’s latest innovations in the space are penetrating more mainstream retailers such as Albertsons and gaining traction onshelf. We’re seeing this trend develop in other key markets as well,” he said.
Century Pacific rolled out unMeat in the domestic retail market in 2021 before the brand was introduced to select international markets such as the United Arab Emirates and Singapore. “Two major factors are driving us in this pursuit. One, we believe that long-term trends remain. Consumers still want healthier and more sustainable food options, and we believe plant-based alternatives have a role to play in serving this need,” Po said.
“Two, we see ourselves as a protein delivery company. We have the capability to build this vertical, learning along the way, and, hopefully, we can democratize the category in the process,” he added.
